Hello,
All this about a battery.
After the acid ate my oil pressure line in my 3, I went to a maint. free
battery the Delco freedom. That lasted about 7 years and when I needed a new
battery I decided to go with the Exide Orbital.
At the time it was about 95$ + shipping.
I still have the old bullet starter in the 3 and this battery turns over the
engine just wonderful.
It works so good, when the 4 was ready for the road I got another but in only
1 year the price went up to 135!.
This is the 3rd season with the 3 and 2nd with the 4 and no problems.
During the winter all batteries are stored in the cellar and get a refresh
charge using my battery tender.
And no more problems with acid.
During the driving season, they hold their charge just great. No problems
starting either car even after 2 weeks or more.
